We open the new season with an exciting duo specializing in songs, tales and tunes of the sea. Pint and Dale were last here in 2005, enthralling us with what Dirty Linen magazine calls "unconventional and spine-tingling music ... [that] elevates the humble sea chanty to unexpected heights." Felicia Dale's masterful hurdy gurdy playing fills the room with haunting drones and melodic improvisations, while William Pint layers driving rhythms on guitar, mandolin and mandocello. The duo occasionally adds keyboard, fiddle, bodhrán and tin whistle to this rich vocal-instrumental blend. With a repertoire of maritime music from France, the British Isles, Canada, their home state of Seattle and our own New England shores, Pint and Dale bring energetic and creative arrangements to these ancient songs and tunes. Come ready to sing along!
